I remember that day because I was also participating in a psych experiment for my psych class that day where I wasn't allowed to speak the whole day, so I couldn't even say anything about it while everyone else was talking about it the whole day. In retrospect, I guess it was kind of fitting, sort of a moment of silence for the whole day.

I was in 2nd grade when that happened. We were watching it live, and when it blew up my teacher had no idea what to say. Her being so flustered and upset probably scared us kids more than the explosion itself.

I'm about the same age as Aytumious if not exactly. This is one of my earliest childhood memories, by that I mean one of the things I vaguely remember.

I was on the beach in Florida about a 100 miles away, watching the launch with a bunch of college friends. We saw it happen, but did not really know what was going on until we heard it on the car radio.

I was in history class. Previous to 9/11, it was the biggest thing ever shown on TV.
